How to enter TWRP recovery without holding Volume Up and Power from Android without root

How to boot into recovery from Android is something that will help you get into TWRP / CWM / custom recovery when holding volume up and power doesn’t work, or when holding volume down and power doesn’t work.

With this guide, there’s no need to root to boot into recovery, whether it be standard recovery, TWRP, or CWM custom recovery.

You should then see a screen similar to the one pictured below. At the bottom you should see *Build number*. Tap it multiple times until it tells you “You are now a developer!”.

Hit the *back button* to get to the main settings screen >> Tap *Developer options*

Tap *USB debugging*

III. Enter adb command window

Open the adb folder located at your system drive. This was already added by the auto-installer in the step above. The location should be c:/adb.

Connect your phone to your PC and be aware of your phone’s display requesting adb debugging permissions (if you haven’t previously allowed them). Be sure to allow it. If any drivers install, or you don’t see the adb debugging permission request, wait for the drivers to finish, disconnect your phone, and reconnect again.

In a blank space in the c:/adb folder, hold SHIFT while right-clicking.
